An 11-year-old boy driving his parents' pickup struck a Buddhist monk procession in Mukdahan province, killing at least eight monks and wounding 14 others, four critically, according to reports.
An 11-year-old boy stole his father's pickup truck and drove into a Buddhist monk procession in Mukdahan province, northeast Thailand, about 600 km from Bangkok, on Thursday morning. The incident killed at least eight monks and wounded 14 others, four of whom are in critical condition, according to Asaf Rozentzweig (N12). The earlier N12 report by Tal Sa'agi listed 10 critically wounded, but the primary source — the initial Zioneer bulletin from 11:30, citing the same report — refines that figure to four in critical condition, resolving the discrepancy. The boy was reportedly taking the vehicle without permission at the time of the crash, which occurred during a religious march. Authorities are investigating.
